a movement started by First Baptist Orlando, wants to serve the community and show God’s love to others.

Love Orlando focuses on helping those in our immediate community who are hurting, have lost hope and are broken-hearted.

So far, the church has partnered with 11 Orlando-based nonprofits and distributed nearly $4 million in grant awards under the Love Orlando banner. The ministry is committed to funding long-term and foundational programs that demonstrate proven results in moving families to self-sustainability.

The church hopes to continue to identify partner ministries/organizations in Central Florida to be a part of this Love Orlando initiative. Rather than simply distribute funding, Love Orlando will partner with local, nonprofit organizations to address a range of issues, from homeless prevention to food for impoverished elementary-school kids to transitional housing.
